About Us

We fund people and research, and we partner on shared opportunities. Funded by our provincial government, we support a health research system that improves health and health care and strengthens the economy.

Our programs build research careers, our investments advance priority research, and our expertise accelerates the use of research evidence.

As a provincial organization, our work extends across many Indigenous lands and territories throughout BC. We acknowledge with respect and humility that our Vancouver office is located on the traditional and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
